But, when I went to start it, I realized that my droplet doesn’t actually have the apache package! I think because of having Serverpilot, if I do dpkg -l | grep apache, it just returns “apache-sp”, which is ServerPilot’s version.

So I’m guessing following that DO TLS guide won’t work, right? For example, I don’t even have a /var/www directory (like you would if you have legit normal apache).

To be honest I don’t really understand why I even have Serverpilot. I just want Wordpress, which it seems like you can install without using SP, right? It seems like to get TLS working with Serverpilot, I might have to pay? Whereas it would be free if I just followed the DO guide, right?

Okay, so I started the guide install. However, it stopped almost immediately, because trying to do apt install python-certbot-apache told me it depends on python3-certbot-apache. So, I tried installing that first and then it said it needs apache2, which I don’t have:

So I guess I'll try it manually? However, it looks like your first line has /var/www, which my droplet doesn't even have. Does that matter?
thanks!
